In the function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">start</span><span class="special">()</span></code>,
|
|
we call asio::async_write() to serve the data to the client. Note that we
|
|
are using asio::async_write(), rather than <a class="link" href="../reference/basic_stream_socket/async_write_some.html" title="basic_stream_socket::async_write_some">ip::tcp::socket::async_write_some()</a>,
|
|
to ensure that the entire block of data is sent.

</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The data to be sent is stored in the class member <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">message_</span></code>
|
|
as we need to keep the data valid until the asynchronous operation is complete.

<p>

|
When initiating the asynchronous operation, and if using <a class="link" href="boost_bind.html" title="boost::bind">boost::bind</a>,
|
|
you must specify only the arguments that match the handler's parameter list.
|
|
In this program, both of the argument placeholders (asio::placeholders::error
|
|
and asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred) could potentially have been removed,
|
|
since they are not being used in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">handle_write</span><span class="special">()</span></code>.
